I'm not sure I understand your proposal in enough detail to answer.
Are you suggesting to call terminate_due_to_signal where we detect
stack overflow, without unwinding the stack by longjmp?  If so, that
runs a high risk of crashing, due to several reasons (I can explain
them if you indeed suggested something similar to that).  We must
release enough stack space before we call any non-trivial code.
That's what longjmp to top level does.

If you are suggesting something else, please elaborate.
